This is probably not too popular of an opinion, lol, but here goes: I was a tech in the days before pain meds were made available to animals. One problem is that when animals feel pain, they limit their activity. When they don't feel pain, they tend to overdo and re-injure themselves. Personally, pain meds never did that much for me, lol.
That said, maybe decreasing her meds would help her to be less active, or some puppy downers to help keep her calm. And IDK if this is okay for this type of injury, but would some kind of splint or a support bandage be of any help? I would imagine it may take more therapy to get the leg fully functional after healing, but if it can prevent further injury it might be worth doing, if appropriate in this instance.
